章節 188: 188
After Yi Feng fell into a deeper sleep, Gu Muxi gently supported his head and placed it on the bench.
She crouched down and carefully observed the sleeping Yi Feng.
She secretly kissed him, hoping he wouldn't notice.
A thought suddenly popped into Gu Muxi's mind.
Recalling the last time… it was too embarrassing, but now that he was asleep, wasn't it the perfect opportunity?
Her cheeks flushed red, but she mustered up the courage to lean in closer.
Just as their faces were close enough to feel each other's warm breath,suddenly, Yi Feng opened his eyes.
For a moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere froze…
Immediately afterward, Yi Feng closed his eyes again and puckered his lips.
Gu Muxi: "?(????w????)?!!"
"You're clearly awake!"
"Annoying!"
But just as she finished speaking, Yi Feng suddenly propped himself up, lifted his head, and kissed her.
"Uh?!"
Gu Muxi's eyes widened, her cheeks instantly flushed to the base of her neck, and her heart pounded fiercely.
After a long moment, Gu Muxi came to her senses, withdrew her body, and broke away from Yi Feng's lips.
"Jerk, how dare you sneak attack me! Despicable!"
Gu Muxi, embarrassed, wiped her lips and made a fierce gesture, trying to catch Yi Feng.
Yi Feng swiftly dodged and ran towards home, looking back and making faces as he ran.
"Tease, tease, bite me if you can."
"Stinky Feng, stop right there!"
Their playful laughter echoed through the neighborhood.
…
The next day at noon, Yi Feng, carrying two bottles of Moutai, took a taxi to Huang He's house.
He had already notified Huang He in advance, planning to have lunch together at his home.
Yi Feng knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, revealing a girl in studded leather clothing and a ponytail.
She appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen, wearing awkward smoky makeup and exuding a bit of a hooligan vibe.
Her demeanor resembled that of a street tough.
As Yi Feng sized her up, she did the same.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" the girl asked with a frown and an unfriendly tone.
"Uh, haha, hello, my name is Yi Feng. I'm here to see Teacher Huang. You must be Teacher Huang's daughter, right?" Yi Feng asked with a friendly smile.
The girl before him was indeed Huang He's daughter, Huang Xuanxuan.
Yi Feng had heard from Huang He before; a late child, spoiled in childhood, but grew up to be willful.
Huang Xuanxuan responded with an "Oh," then turned and called, "Dad, someone's looking for you!"
"Ha ha, must be Little Feng, right?" Huang He came out from the tea room and hurriedly welcomed Yi Feng at the door.
Seeing him, Yi Feng stepped in, saying, "Hello, Teacher Huang!"
"Today, I'm here to mooch a meal again!"
Huang He patted his shoulder and laughed, "What are you talking about, kid? Saying that makes you a stranger!"
"Hey, Teacher Huang, I didn't come empty-handed, haha. Take these two bottles of wine. We can drink them later." Yi Feng handed over the wine.
Two bottles of 53-degree Feitian Moutai, 300 yuan each, considered among the most prestigious in spirits.
"You kid, just coming is enough, why bring gifts?"
"No way, these two bottles, we've got to finish them off later. Let's have a good drink!" Huang He laughed.
Then, Huang He welcomed Yi Feng into the house and introduced, "You've come a few times but haven't met her. This is my daughter, Huang Xuanxuan. This girl, always out and about, seldom comes home."
Huang Xuanxuan, hearing her father speak of her in front of others, immediately frowned, clearly unhappy.
"Dad, what do you mean 'out and about'? I just went out to play for a bit. You're a teacher, yet you choose your words poorly!" Huang Xuanxuan retorted.
Huang He, seeing her talk back, was about to scold her.
Yi Feng quickly changed the subject, saying, "Haha, I thought so. I see she has her mother's eyes, a bit of your forehead too, quite handsome. The power of genetics, really strong."
Huang He was pleased with Yi Feng's flattery.
"Little Feng, you flatter her. This girl, neither good at studies nor piano, but knows well how to play. If she were half as mature and understanding as you, my hair wouldn't have turned white so quickly."
Yi Feng laughed, "These days, being able to play is a skill too. I think Xuan will definitely achieve something great in the future."
Huang He shook his head, smiling, "You always say nice things. Sit down and rest a bit. Your aunt is cooking, and we'll be eating soon."
"Yes, yes, here, Teacher Huang, have a cigarette." Yi Feng, noticing an ashtray with several cigarette butts in the living room, took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Huang He.
Huang He accepted the cigarette, sat down with him, and lit it, asking, "Little Feng, how's the business at your shop lately?"
Yi Feng also lit a cigarette and replied, "Not bad, everything is going according to plan. We've opened six branches in Guangxi City now. The offline repair business is doing well. In another two months, we should be able to expand to 20 chain stores. With a 5-kilometer radius, we can cover most areas of Guangxi City. Once the operation model in Guangxi City is mature and we have some brand recognition, I'll consider expanding to other cities nationwide."
Huang He was extremely shocked to hear this, not expecting Yi Feng to move so quickly. Xifeng Electronics was developing far beyond expectations!
What a business prodigy!
"It seems you have a clear development strategy and goals, which is good."
"Having 6 chain stores so quickly is really unexpected!" Huang He praised.
"Well… but after yesterday, there are only 5 left." Yi Feng shrugged helplessly.
"Oh? What happened?" Huang He asked curiously.
Then Yi Feng briefly explained the incident of Zhao Xingye setting fire to the store.
Huang He was stunned, then said with emotion, " Zhao Xingye… indeed… unreliable."
"He's fallen into your hands now, serves him right."
Though Huang He said this, he felt it was the result of Yi Feng's relentless pressure.
With the business model of Xifeng Electronics, no computer store on the market could compete. The advantages of scale and systematization, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement were not something personal stores could match.
This was the victory of a business model.
Even without this risk, it was normal for Zhao Xingye to be pushed out by Yi Feng.
"Little Feng, what are you planning to do next?" Huang He knew Yi Feng must have something in mind, as his visits were always for formal discussions, not just for meals and drinks.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Feng said, "Teacher Huang, last time, you mentioned a student of yours working at a computer components provincial agency, called Kejie Company?"
Huang He was surprised Yi Feng suddenly brought this up.
"Yes, at Kejie Company. They've secured the general agency rights for many manufacturers in Guangdong Province, including Guangxi City. Many dealers get their stock from them. They are the designated sole agents and can only source from them."
"What's up, Little Feng? Are you interested in this company?" Huang He asked.
Yi Feng smiled slightly, took a drag from his cigarette, but didn't rush to speak.
With the expansion of the computer components business and the development of the online store, the volume of goods needed in the future would be substantial. Continuously sourcing from Nanqiao and various first- and second-level dealers, with one or even two middlemen, would long-term be against Xifeng Electronics' interests. Some of the costs of sourcing from suppliers would actually be the profit margins of these dealers.
After much consideration, Yi Feng thought, as the demand for goods increased, it might be better to bypass these suppliers and work directly with the provincial agents to lower the cost of components.
After a while, Yi Feng finally said, "I am quite interested. If there's a chance, I'd like to ask for your introduction, Teacher Huang. It's always good to have more friends and options."
Huang He, after a brief thought and guessing his intention, immediately smiled, "No problem, Little Feng. You always have good ideas."
